This game can be played with 3 to 8 players (10 if you are good)...
A deck of 52 cards is shiffled and dealt out to all players face down...
The player with the 3 (or Ace if you prefer) of spades goes first... That player then plays his beginning card (only) face up on the pile...
The card order is:
3's, 4's, 5's, 6's, 7's, 8's, 9's, 10's, Jacks, Queens, Kings, Aces, 2's, 3's, etc. in that order
The next player (to the immediate left or right) must play the next successive card face down on the pile (If a player has more than one of the same type he can try to place them all face down)... The player says the number he is on and the number of cards he placed face down... If the player does not have a card that is supposed to be placed down next, he must bluff and pretend to put down the card that comes next...
If a players thinks that another player is lying, he/she must say Cheat/B.S./I-Doubt-It and if the alleged liar was actually lying the liar must pick up the whole pile... However if the alleged liar was not lying, the accuser must pick up the whole pile.
The person who resumes the game is the one directly beside the player who pick up the pile... That player places his/her card face down and can start off with any card he/she chooses (they may lie if they want to)...
Players win by running out of all of their cards... When the last two remaining players are left, they count their cards and the player with the least amount of cards wins...
Optional Rules:
1. I a player lies and the next player has already played another cards, the liar says "Haha-I-Lied/Peanut-Butter/I-Cheated"
2. For additional players an additional deck may be mixed in...
3. The game may be played with Jokers... and Jokers are considered wild cards that can be used as any other card name...
Enjoy!!
I have played this game too. I'm not a big fan of it, since my boyfriend, sister, and friends just make a big joke out of the game, so we can never play seriously. I look forward to the other games you post :)
ReplyDeleteZeth, Would you use this game in a math class? What is the learning that you feel comes out of students, for example, playing this game. Does it help one hone his/her understanding of numbers and randomization? Probability? Is the latter involved when one plays this game................it sounds like it is a game that requires an total understanding of all the cards that have been played. By the way, I am not having any problem adding comments to students' posts. Dr. Ries
